222 Lyon Tapas Bar - Ottawa

My wife, daughters, and I had a fantastic evening at this tapas restaurant. The food was excellent, the servers and owner were very friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We would highly recommend this place.

One word, wow! A favorite! The food is excellent, the service is personalized and friendly. Even the customers around us suggested dishes to us. Colorful, lively and most importantly, enjoyable atmosphere. It's a shame we live so far away... we will be back very soon. Bravo once again!

Well, where to start? Lets go with the food first. My wife and I have been going to 222 Lyon for about five years now and we have never had a dish that was not perfect. We have tried everything on the menu and love it all. From the top to the bottom of the menu there is not one thing that is not prepared with loving knowledge of the Spanish tapas culture and care for the customer. Our daughter, god love her, is one heck of a picky eater, but we finally convinced her to join us one night. Well turns out she loves the garlic shrimp, the squid a la romana and her favorite is the snails andalusian. She also loves seeing Kathy as well as all the other staff. Secondly, all the staff must have been made to watch reruns of that old TV show Cheers, 'where everybody knows your name ' because each time we walk through the door we are greeted like family. We have also celebrated my birthday there the last few years and have introduced many people to the charm of 222 Lyon, even one person who liked to play with his mussel shells, lol. To say it is our favorite is to understate the feelings we have for 222 Lyon and it 's wonderful staff.

My go to place when I’m in Ottawa. Home away from home. Never disappoints. Awesome tapas and wine. Even better staff

The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
